Daily Prompt: Green-Eyed Monster

Daily Prompt: Green-Eyed Monster   ,

by michelle w. on August 3, 2013 Write an anonymous letter to someone you’re jealous of. Photographers, artists, poets: show us GREEN.

Since my childhood, I found it very difficult to envy someone because whoever was better than me in any respect, I started loving him/ her. I tried to follow like them, sometimes foolishly tried to copy them. So how can one be jealous of someone you like?

so better post a picture of something green but how can green be the color of envy, surprises me.

Thinking Aloud

If I start being jealous of someone,
then I have  to be jealous of everyone
who can write, paint, sing, and dance

better than me,

but then

someone inside me

says,

how can you be jealous of them you fool?

They worked hard to

master their skill.

Are you jealous of them because they can do so well

or, because you can’t do like them?

I think its time for introspection.

Did I dream to achieve something?

Did I work hard enough to get it?

Was  I passionate about my dream?

perhaps not.

so being jealous will not get me  anywhere

I will end up simply tormenting myself.
